A cardiorespiratory representation shows how the heart
and lungs interact to circulate oxygenated blood, remove
carbon dioxide, and support essential body functions.
The cardiorespiratory system combines the heart and
lungs to circulate oxygen, remove carbon dioxide, and
maintain stable oxygen levels essential for cellular activity.
The cardiovascular system includes the heart and blood
vessels. It circulates blood throughout the body, transporting
oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products while
supporting cellular function and maintaining internal balance.
Carotid artery branching. This illustration represents the division
of the artery into its internal and external branches. The diagram
shows how the internal branch irrigates the brain while the external
one supplies blood to the neck and face, ensuring blood flow and
oxygen supply.
Carotid artery stenosis. Narrowingof the mainarterythat carries blood to the brainby the accumulation of plaques, reducingtheblood supply flow andincreasingthe risk of stroke, requiringtimelydiagnosis and treatment.
The cataract focuses. This is affected when the lens, the eye’s
natural lens, becomes cloudy. Cataracts can blur vision, cause hazy
sight, and impair the ability to focus properly.
The cecum and appendix form the first part of the large intestine. They receive content from the small intestine, help absorb fluids, and support immune functions within the digestive system.
The healthy and celiac villi compare normal intestinal structures
with those damaged by gluten. This alteration reduces the absorption
of nutrients, causes digestive symptoms, and can lead to deficiencies
nutritional deficiencies if a strict gluten-free diet is not followed
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which gluten
damages the intestinal villi. This reduces the absorption
of nutrients and causes digestive symptoms and nutritional
deficiencies.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which gluten damages
the intestinal villi. This reduces the absorption of nutrients, causes
digestive symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, and can
cause nutritional deficiencies if not treated with a gluten-free diet.
Celiac intestinal disease: an autoimmune disorder where gluten
causes atrophy of the small intestine villi. This prevents nutrient
absorption and generates fatigue, diarrhea, and weight loss. The only
effective treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet.
